Our temp reached 100 degrees yesterday afternoon…that breaks the old record for the date of 98 degrees set 34 years ago in 1981.

Youngsters and adults involved in the Bladen Mission 2015 project continued on schedule…Outdoor activities were at a little slower pace with longer breaks….11 teams of 5 (more or less) were all over the county working on ‘worthy’ projects. There were indoor activities as well…Organizers and participants are to be commended for their efforts. The projects continues today and Thursday.

Can you think back about some of the times when you were exposed to hot temps?
